College Korean (대학 한국어)

MICHAEL C. ROGERS CLARE YOU KYUNGNYUN K. RICHARDS

College Korean offers a comprehensive introduction to the Korean language designed for American students. Rogers, You, and Richards have used their many years of teaching to devise and test an approach that balances reading and writing with the spoken language. T h e result is a well-rounded text suited to a yearlong course in which students learn to conduct conversations about their o w n lives and interests, read texts written in hangul, and write simple compositions. T h e text systematically introduces basic Korean grammar, a contextualized vocabulary, and styles of speech that are sociolinguistically appropriate for college students. Each of its 26 lessons contains a dialogue or a reading, practice patterns, relevant grammar notes, and exercises. More than 130 Sino-Korean characters are also introduced, and a comprehensive glossary and complete grammar indexes are provided. Michael C. Rogers is Professor Emeritus, and Clare You and Kyungnyun K. Richards are Lecturers, in the Department of East Asian Languages at the University of California, Berkeley.
